how do i get the latest Nvidia drivers (310.19 ) for my gt650m card, 304.14 is current driver. do i need to do a package request here on the forums ???.   I had downloaded them , but the install was a bit too complicated for me and i mucked up my machine , and had too reinstall PCL .   any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated . id like to get my laptop(acer v-771-9875) up too date with all the latest drivers to enable all the features , especially power managment.

thanks

There is no need to make a package request.  A number of important packages are regularly updated.  I have just put NVIDIA 310.19 into testing http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,111141.msg948975.html#msg948975.  

Once it has been tested by the testers group it will be moved to the stable repo and will appear as a normal update via Synaptic.

gerald, perhaps it will help to read this:

http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,42874.0.html

it describes in detail how to keep your system in good order and, more importantly, how to not bork it.
